So I finished the framing and priming of the stand today. One thing I am still not sure of is whether to use foam or just plywood under the tank.

I have 1/2" to work with. The "skin" plywood for the sides and doors has to cover whatever I use underneath the tank and I figured 1/2" space should be fine. I can add another 1/2" if needed but I prefer not to.

If I do use foam, what is the best to use? In the past I have used that thick pink foam but I really don't think that stuff is necessary. I would prefer something much thinner.

I am leaning towards just using a sheet of plywood under the tank I think though. We'll see.

Glad to hear the Zeobak and Coral Snow worked out. It never worked out for me, but things that work for everyone else, usually don't for me, so I'll just add that to the list of other items that cause me to believe I live in a different universe subject to differnt physical laws than everyone else.. :nejutral:

Well I missed dosing yesterday and it has come back pretty bad. Its amazing how quickly it is coming and going.

Come to think of it, I missed dosing before going in to work today too...not just the coral snow but everything.

I am kind of starting to feel like ZEO is a bit too much "work" for me. Maybe saying too much work is not what I am feeling but I guess kind of too much messing with the tank. I got sick of 5 drops of this and 5 drops of that after about a week.

Meh...I doubt I will continue ZEO on the new tank. Too much work IMO and I can get the same/similar results other ways. I do think its a great system but just not for me. I don't like daily maintenance on the tank
